Lexington Women

Match report

DK Power Women defeated Lexington Women 2-1 in their USL Super League Group Stage fixture on Friday evening. The result moves the visitors up to third place in the table while Lexington remain fifth after two matches. It was a game where the visitors took their chances when they mattered most.

L. Abera had a turbulent first half for the hosts. She missed a penalty in the 47th minute before scoring from the spot moments later, then received a yellow card just before the break. And here's the thing — you could see the frustration building on her face as the half wore on.

DK Power took the lead through E. Colton in the 68th minute. The visitors made several changes around that period, bringing on K. Murray and C. Barry for Lexington while substituting their own goalscorer. To be fair, the tactical adjustments didn't quite shift the momentum back to the home side.

Lexington had a chance to level when A. Mccain missed another penalty in the 72nd minute. The match seemed destined for a draw until M. J. Midgley struck in the 94th minute to secure all three points for DK Power. By then, the home side had already made their final changes, including bringing on L. Abera herself.

The victory extends DK Power's winning record to two from three games, putting them on six points. Lexington sit on three from two matches after that opening win against Brooklyn Women. Away victories like this are the ones that define campaigns in this competition.
